El Paso Ranks Second City for Douchebags

Well, maybe. This according to a ranking by Estately.com, an online database of homes for sale. The ranking is based on a percentage of males in the 100 most populated U.S. cities who listed “douchie” items as interests on their Facebook pages. What are those items you ask? If you like Chris Brown, Nickleback, Monster Energy, Axe (brand), Dane Cook, or Tosh.0 on Facebook, you are likely a d-bag.

Other Texas cities include Laredo, who came in first place, while San Antonio ranked in third and even Corpus Christi coming in at fifth. According to Estately, “douchebags are massing in large numbers along the Texas border with Mexico, perhaps with plans of invading?”

So what do you think? Is El Paso really that douchy? Or is this another cheap shot at our city? Tell us in the comments below..

“Douchbag” is insulting your own city and believing any insult that people hundreds of miles away hurl at you, every single self-hating, divisive comment here is ammo for the real douchbags who buy into these cheesy lists…i think materialistic, pro-war views are douchy..is that on the list?

I grew up in El Paso and could not wait to get the hell out of there. I left for Dallas as soon as I could, and here’s why:

El Paso is a large city with small town mentality. Since this article is about the douchebag problem, I’ll start with that. El Paso has a way of making guys feel way more important and influential then they really are. You have someone who has a small business thats doing ok and everyone around him kisses his ass so much that he thinks he runs the city. This isn’t just people from across the border. It isn’t a Mexican/black/white thing. Its an El Paso thing. I hate to tell these people, no one is important. If you disappeared from the planet tomorrow there might be a few people sad but the world would keep on spinning.

El Paso is a large city with small town mentality. Because of the economy, as well as the Texas “bubble” (prices of housing, cost of living, etc), people in El Paso seem to think they have money and walk around like they own the town. Come to Dallas, you will see what having money looks like. Funny thing is most of the people with money in Dallas don’t put up a front because there are plenty of people who have more then they do.

El Paso is a large city with small town mentality. Everyone is in everyone else’s business. For such a large city, people sure do know whats going on with everyone else. Then, because they don’t have lives they gossip and talk shit on everyone. You can’t go anywhere and just escape from everyone you know for one night. Always running into someone, and normally its one of the douchebags mentioned earlier.

El Paso is a large city with small town mentality. This is especially true for government officials. I dont know how it is now because I haven’t lived there in awhile but when I was there they would do nothing to help that city grow financially. Seaworld wanted to build there instead of San Antonio. What happened? The city said no. How many businesses opened and are successful because of Seaworld? How many tourists visit San Antonio just for Seaworld? How much is San Antonio making just off of Seaworld? Another project that was shut down because of those in charge was something like the Riverwalk in San Antonio. Developers wanted to turn part of downtown and along the river into a riverwalk. More businesses, more tourists, and more money taken from El Paso because of peoples small town mentality.

The only thing I miss is the food. For real, I miss my machaca burritos at Lucy’s. Also miss Leo’s, Kiki’s, Carlos & Mickey’s, JJ’s, there are too many to remember. Love the mexican food in El Paso.

Lol I’m not surprised by this at all, everyone here thinks they’re better than you. Cocky, wannabe thugs, terrible sense of style, cheap, ignorant people. It’s mostly the men in pick up trucks lol, don’t even need the pick up truck but you drive one cuz it’s a TEXAS thing. Lol

I agree. I’ve grown up here and is changed too much. My fiancé and I can’t wait to move away from here. I’ve been to other cities and granted there will always be a holes where ever you go but I can’t stave EP

Agreed!!! All these cholo non english speaking a**holes, the inconsiderate drivers, etc. The list could go on!!! El paso wouldn’t have been a twinkle in texas ‘ eye had it not been for Ft. Bliss! Granted the post here sucks. It’s the most messed up, crooked one I’ve ever seen. But it does bring in like 40000 soldiers plus families!

Fuck all yall, yall come take our fronchis! Yall kno why you come to el paso take our women and cheap drugs you cant find cheaper other than actually going to jtown, which happens to be TheSleepingGiant for a reason. Chris Brown! Fuck you!

Our city is awesome,people are just jealous that we got good people who know how to have a good time without massive parks,and metropolitan status and still have low crime being so close to the border.

Even though they used a very dumb and not valid method to come up with the ranking, unfortunately this is still SO TRUE. I love my hometown and still consider it my city even though I moved out years ago and it pains me to say this but I have to say it guys whether you like to admit it or not. If you are one of the few respectable gentleman in El Paso, good for you and keep it up. When you live there you don’t realize it. Once you move out and come back to visit every year like I do, you realize it. In El Paso I feel harassed by the way the men ogle and cat call the women. The men act all desperate for women like if they’ve been locked up and haven’t seen women in years. A lot of El Paso men also have attitude like if they think they are god’s gift to earth and have power trips and constantly talk about ‘respect’ and expect every one to give them their ‘respect’ when they disrespect everyone including themselves. Just read some of the silly comments some of these guys are putting in this thread about Fronchis and Ponchos and border cities, immediately pointing the finger. AGAIN THIS IS NOT EVERY SINGLE MAN IN EL PASO but it happens too often. YES some WOMEN do also behave this way. Its embarrassing and I too feel ashamed like some of the other commentators have mentioned. Just because we grew up there, we love our city, our city has a low crime rate etc etc, that doesn’t mean that people don’t have attitudes and don’t know how to behave because many do. And yeah, I know its not the only city where this happens and there are worse, but that shouldn’t be the focus.

I hate to say this and I’m not being hateful or nothing.. But its clear that border cities are ranking to be the highest.. Which makes me think.. Hmmmmmm common anybody could do the math.. Think bout it!!!! I’ve been to other places in USA and the most racial people are our raza from across the border.. Very rude and demanding.. Oh well that’s my opinion..

You know what’s “douchey?” People in El Paso that refuse to drive more than 10 minutes in the opposite direction of town. Why on earth do some people say “aye, it’s too far!” so often? El Paso isn’t event that big of a city! Why is it SOOO PAINFUL for people to drive to the other side of town? That one boggles my mind and is a perfect example of why the city is always 10 years behind the curve of other big cities.

I think they meant people without taste in music, fashion and lack of literacy. Just as El Paso was ranked #1 as the worst dressed city, I think it deserves this nomination as well too. In fact people prefer Juarez despite the violence and unconformity

My kids and I always play “The douchebad award goes to….” game when in public places. LMFAO!!! Usually the first guy with an Ed Hardy shirt wins. Hahahaha! But of all places I’ve been, I have to agree El Paso certainly not the douchiest…

They only searched for “douchey” things that people without money like, so they got a list of the poorest cities in the country. Search for douchey things that rich people like, like PBR, Whole Foods, and Animal Collective, and El Paso will be just about the least douchey city in the country.

Actually, whoever made this list should be #1. You know what is really douchey? Being some smug wealthy asshole who went to school on daddy’s money, then working for a real estate website and trying to be hip by dumping on poor people for being too “uncultured” to appreciate noise rock and fad diets that are popular in NYC and Austin.

I am surprise it isn’t #1 but I agree I don’t think because some of those things on the list, there are pleanty of more that actually make hell paso a douchi city. people are just awful very close minds and not social at all. nothing to do in the city is just awful and is coming from someone born and raise there. if you can get the hell out

I think douchy people write stories and take studies like this one here. then have the nerve to call people douches because of things they like which rallies all the real douche bags to think it’s OK to point fingers and judge other people.pluck the timber out of your own eye before you try to pull the splinter from mine.

In my opinion EL paso Texas, Address it for what it is.#1is a border city #2 people hear have to share a.jobs,b.schools c.and every thing that’s comes after that. With people that cross the border and work,go to colleges eat go clubbing, its a fu*ken Nut town. Too many people but those who don’t travel like I do!!.Got to tell you Elpaso people you’re the Nice’s people comparing to other towns . absolutely Not do you rank as D.B. your Great people .:-) be proud people of El paso.

I 100% disagree with this! Being somebody that grew up in El Paso and moved to the North East and traveled all over the US and abroad, the people in El Paso are actually very kind. ESPECIALLY the people of Mexican decent. If you think the people in El Paso are douchy try meeting rich and privilaged college students in Boston, or the folks that live on the southern coast of California. Walk into an airport of Rome Italy and you can experience pure douchbagery.

I guess they haven’t seen all the Jersey Shore and Jersey shows of numerous douchebags but we are proud douchebagcountry so if you don’t like it don’t come here. oh wait we’re ride along the i-10 well I guess if you’re going east or west you still have to pass by haha!
